Mrs. Doubtfire Broadway musical's star wants to make Robin Williams 'proud': 'It's all I can wish for'
The musical — which begins performances on March 9 at New York City’s Stephen Sondheim Theatre ahead of an official opening night on April 5 — features a book by Karey Kirkpatrick and John O’Farrell, with and music and lyrics by Wayne Kirkpatrick and Karey Kirkpatrick directs.
“It’s a really smart adaptation of the film,” McClure says. “The audience is going to get all of the things that they’re craving from the adaptation, just not in the way that they expect to get them, which I think is a clever spin of our adaptation. It’s worthy of 2020 and I think it has a lot to offer and tons of laughs.”
It’s not just the laughs. Seeing as the show talks a lot about divorce, McClure says “the majority of people who have been waiting at the stage door were people in tears.”came out in the 90s, most movies with divorced parents centered around them getting back together,” he notes. “This was really the first film that told kids, ‘They’re better off apart andbe better off with them apart. They’ll be better parents for you because they’ll be happier.
“It was sort of a revolutionary idea back then and believe it or not, almost 30 years later, the idea of assuring the children of divorced families that they can change their definition of family and it’s going to be okay is as revolutionary an idea as ever,” McClure says. “Our show expands on the idea of unconventional family, not just divorced households but the different structures of family in a 2020 world and embracing them all.
Speaking of kids, McClure is a dad himself, to a 1-year-old daughter named Sadie, whom he shares with wife and actress Maggie Lakis.“It really is true that you can’t fully grasp the bond between a parent and a child unless you’re holding your own,” McClure says. “There is something really overwhelming about both the love and the responsibility that comes with it.
